Dunsborough and surrounding areas, including Yallingup, Eagle Bay, Meelup, Margaret River are some of the most beautiful holiday spots in the world. Incredible beaches, cafes, restaurants, world class wineries and a big range of holiday accommodation. The area also is priced very well in terms of house prices, given what the area has to offer. Very peaceful relaxing area to live and/or holiday in. Highly recommend!
